The FAQs of How Home Improvements Affect Your Property Value
This episode of All Things Home was in response to an email I received recently from one of my favorite past clients. She sent me a list of some home updates & improvements she was getting ready to do, asked for contractor recommendations (which I gladly passed along), and then asked about the impact of these projects on the value of her home.
So I decided to record this episode to address this common question: How do the various home improvement projects impact the value of my home?
We discuss:
The importance of maintenance vs. value-add renovations
Updates that unfortunately do not significantly increase home value, including system updates like HVAC, roofs, and drainage systems
The role of curb appeal in first impressions and resale value
Prioritizing aesthetic improvements—how small changes can yield big returns
Considering the long-term effects of home investment depending on time in the residence
Key Takeaways:
Homeowners should adjust their expectations regarding which updates will positively affect resale value.
Aesthetic improvements like paint and flooring often yield better returns than system updates.
Long-term plans for homeownership play a crucial role in the decision-making process for home improvements.
Engaging with professionals for advice can help in making smart investment choices about home renovation.

Skip the Contingency: 5 Ways to Buy Without Waiting to Sell
In this episode of All Things Home, we’re unpacking one of the most complex scenarios our clients face: figuring out how to buy your new home BEFORE you sell the home you already have.
In today’s economic client, more of our clients than ever are slowly and patiently shopping for their dream home, thanks to limited options on the market. Every client’s worst nightmare is to sell their current home, and then not be able to find what they want to buy and being stuck with nowhere to live!
This is complicated by the fact that homebuying in the Baltimore Metro remains extremely competitive - and it’s tough to be the winning buyer in a bidding war if you include a contingency in your offer that your current home must be sold as part of the deal.
We’ve brought in our go-to mortgage professional, Danny Reedy with Alcova Mortgage, to share the top 5 tactics we use to help you buy your dream home FIRST - on your terms, on your timeline - and waiting to sell your current home until you dream home is 100% secured!
We’ll talk you through methods for qualifying for both mortgages at the same time, turning your current home into a rental, securing a 3rd party “guaranteed offer” on your current home to remove the need for a home sale contingency, a little-known practice called recasting your mortgage (it’s like a refi, but better!), and using home equity lines of credit (you’ll hear us say HELOC a lot) to make things smooth and on your terms.
As you listen to this episode you’ll hear that there are quite a few options that will most likely apply to you, and sorting out which one is best is best figured out in close conjunction with a lender and our team. Please reach out to us (hello@thebeliveaugroup.com (mailto:hello@thebeliveaugroup.com)) or Danny (dreedy@alcova.com (mailto:dreedy@alcova.com)) to start a conversation as to how to position yourself successfully for that right house when it comes along!

Does it matter if my tax assessment is inaccurate?
This episode of All Things Home was inspired by a question from a past TBG client. She was wondering why her tax assessment is different from her neighbor’s, even though their homes are just about the same size. In this episode, we unpack:
Whether it matters if your tax assessment is wrong (it depends!)
Whether your tax assessment affects resale value
Why a neighbor might have a significantly different assessment from you

5 Simple Ways to Grow Your Net Worth as a Homeowner
This episode dives into a topic that definitely hits home: increasing your net worth!
Ready to unlock more potential in your financial future? Check out my five simple straightforward wealth-building strategies that you can easily implement to increase your net worth.

Here are the key takeaways:
2 simple, automated ways to create home equity faster: rounding up mortgage payments, and set your mortgage payments to be deducted every two weeks.
Utilize High-Yield Savings Accounts: online banks often offer significantly higher interest rates and it's easy to sleep on this tactic which is a huge missed opportunity!
Automated Savings: are you doing it, and can you increase that percentage at all?
Audit Subscriptions: regularly review and prune unnecessary subscriptions from your phone. Use your device’s settings to cancel any that are no longer needed.

Save thousands with the Maryland Homestead Tax Credit
Did you know 1 in 3 Maryland homes were recently reassessed for property taxes? Thanks to skyrocketing home values since 2020 (yay!), tax bills have also increased significantly (boo).
I shared a PSA about this on Instagram recently, and the response was overwhelming! So, I knew this topic deserved to be the very first episode of All Things Home, because this podcast is all about sharing timely, valuable information with our TBG community.
In this episode, I break down:
Why property tax assessments went up at the end of 2024 (Baltimore City +21% and Baltimore County +25%)
How the Homestead Tax Credit can cap your annual tax bill increase at just 4% - and save you thousands over time
Step-by-step instructions to check if your Homestead Tax Credit is on file (and how to file if it’s not!)
Here’s how to check your status:
Visit this website - https://dat.maryland.gov/realproperty/pages/maryland-homestead-tax-credit.aspx (https://dat.maryland.gov/realproperty/pages/maryland-homestead-tax-credit.aspx)
Select your county and enter your street address
Scroll to the bottom of the page to see if your status is Approved, In Process, or Not Filed
If you haven’t filed yet, don’t wait—this quick application could save you thousands (or tens of thousands!) over time.
